March #librem5 software progress: https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-march-2020-software-update/
The MIPI DSI host controller driver made it into linux-next: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?id=44cfc6233447cb2cf47aeb99457de35826a363f6 - more parts of the #librem5 's display stack are moving into place.
Some #FSFE #supporters collectively wrote about the good reasons to use #FreeSoftware for #remote #working and collected a detailed list of good solutions that respect your freedom: https://fsfe.org/news/2020/news-20200403-01.html
Derzeit gibt es viele Hackathons, um Tools zu entwickeln, mit deren Hilfe man verschiedene Probleme rund um die Corona Krise bewältigen kann. Es muss sichergestellt sein, dass die Ergebnisse dieser Hackathons global genutzt und lokal angepasst werden können, dass die Software verwendet, verstanden, verbreitet und verbessert werden kann. Überall. Wir fordern daher, die Ergebnisse unter einer Freien-Software-Lizenz zu veröffentlichen.
I've started to update an ancient (and dormant for several years) project of mine that handles prepaid sim cards (check balance, top-up):
https://honk.sigxcpu.org/piki/projects/ppm/ to work on adaptive #GNOME:
More than ever, it is important to choose your tools wisely. Do not fall for gratis offers and what "everyone" is using. Check whether the applications and services actually empower or rather restrict you!

@micahbp that'd be another piece of software (that can live outside of #phosh) that maps the mpris interface to bluetooth and it seems #bluez already does this: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/tools/mpris-proxy.c - now i need car that talks bluetooth so i can talk to it via the #librem5 .
@Administrator #mpd and #mpDris2 is what i'm using it with.
@okennedy make sense. I've moved these here so it doesn't get lost https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/issues/145
@okennedy notifications have an established (and documented) cross desktop API. Generic lock screen plugins need more thought both code and design wise so we want to collect some use cases that can't be done via notifications first.
The past weekend some members of the XMPP community gathered in Düsseldorf to work on the next iteration of the OMEMO End to End Encryption Specification. All of us agree that the result - version 0.4 of XEP-0384 - is a huge step forward and better than ever! https://blog.jabberhead.tk/2020/03/10/omemo-specification-sprint/
@okennedy Things like appointments will show up in the upcoming widget for notifications on the lockscreen that zander already laid out all the groundwork for.
@agx wow, nice job!
Wow, that was quick: Thanks to Lucas Stach our #etnaviv runtime power managemt fix already landed in linux-next: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/?qt=range&q=ea4ed4a55f7363ad8db1863bd536548fb7e5c6aa..78f2bfa3181cd7ee134274aa17177dd933c69dc1
The fix hits the #librem5 with the next kernel update.
